    Thank you for your comments.
    220v is much more expensive and this was a low-cost project.

    Thank your answer! Feeling not so！220v motor is generally AC，but AC not suitable for frequent reversing.

    AC "IS" suitable for reversing.

    You use an "inverter duty" AC Motor and a good VFD and the will work forward/reverse for years.

    Hello. I am Prashanth. I am working on motion simulation. I have motion simulation for car, forklift and a tractor. Now i need to build a very cheap 6DOF motion platform. A platform, not a seat. I need help to build it from scratch. If you could help me, it would be great!

    Best to start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    You will find the FAQs are a great place to start your research, there is even a section for 6DOF: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    Good work.
    After several months of decline, what are the experience feedback of your engines. Would you choose the same?

    Thank!
    Remember that mine is only a prototype, just wanted to prove it was possible.
    To make a good 6DOF have to use more powerful engines and better electronics.
